Attachment A City of Roseville 12-7-15 Page 3 (G) Areas of Flexibility — The suggested areas of flexibility within this draft were taken directly from the feedback received at the project kick off meeting: Building Placement, Trees & Landscaping Requirements, Open Spaces, Parking Standards, Exterior Materials, and Density. We are also suggesting a catch-all category of "other" in the event an applicant can show why an unlisted area of flexibility is in-line with the intent of the PUD ordinance. Despite our best efforts, we cannot always envision what the next big thing might be, and this criteria could leave the door open for something special that might otherwise be put on hold if a zoning amendment were necessary. (H) PUD Review Criteria — Working with the City to finalize this list will be critical as this section sets up the test for when a PUD should be approved and when a PUD should be denied. Include too many criteria, and PUDs can become hard to approve. Include too few criteria, and PUDs will not produce the desired results. The proper balance will both net a good development, and will ensure the PUD is not used as a variance work around. In order to satisfy these review criteria, a development will have to be of top quality and prove it is deserving of the flexibility discussed in the previous subsection. For this initial draft, we've elected to suggest a framework of goals that really all PUDs should achieve: high quality buildings and aesthetics, blending in with peripheral development including minimization of conflicts, all modifications to underlying zoning must be addressetl for adverse impacts, and phases must be able to stand alone. Beyond that, we are requiring that at least one of the city's specific goals are also achieved: sustainability improvements, Improved storm water management, enhanced buffering, or structured parking. (I) PUD Review Procedures — the review procedures are fairly repetitive, but can be summarized in the following four steps: 1) PUD Concept Plan; 2) Developer Open House Meeting; 3) PUD Preliminary Plan, and 4) PUD Final Plan. Importantly we begin the process with a public meeting before the City Council, and follow that up with a second public meeting held by the developer prior to anything coming before the City for potential approval. This will ensure the developer must work with surrounding neighbors, and will give the City an avenue to provide initial guidance before things move forward. As part of the PUD Preliminary Plan stage, City staff would pen a draft ordinance that will eventually become the overlay district during the PUD Final Plan stage. In general, the review steps follow the same progression as a standard development process. (J) PUD Amendments — This subsection includes our first crack at language addressing how PUDs can be amended following approval. As drafted, we are suggesting three levels of amendments: 1) an administrative amendment to allow for minor deviations to address unforeseen issues in the field; 2) an ordinance text amendment if only the PUD overlay district language needs to be changed; or 3) a full PUD amendment which would require starting back at the PUD Preliminary Plan stage. Further work will be needed on this section to specifically address pre-existing PUDs and how amendments will be administered in those cases.
